Answer:

P = 40.7kPa

Explanation:

To find the pressure on a surface 6 meter below you use the following formula, which takes into account the heights in which pressures are measured and also the density of the fluid and the gravitational acceleration:

P_2-P_1=-\rho g(y_2-y_1)             (1)

P2: pressure for a height of -6 m = ?

P1: pressure for a height of -2 m = 1.5kPa = 1500 Pa

ρ: density of water = 1000kg/m^3

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 ms^2

y2: -6m

y1: -2m

(the height is measure from the water level, because of that, the heights are negative)

You solve the equation (1) for P1:

P_1=P_2-\rho g(y_2-y_1)         (2)

Next, you replace the values of all variables in equation (2):

P_2=1500Pa-(1000kg/m^3)(9.8m/s^2)(-6-(-2))m=40700Pa\\\\P_2=40.7kPa

hence, the pressure on a surface 6 m below the water level is 40.7kPa

The thermal energy used by heater in 3 minutes is used to melt wax.Melting point of solid wax is 60.Specific heat of wax is 220j
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

m = 35 g

Explanation:

The specific heat of a material can be calculated by the following formula:

C = \frac{Q}{m}\\

where,

C = Specific Heat of Wax = 220 J/g

Q = Amount of Heat Supplied by the Heater = 7700 J

m = mass of wax melted = ?

Therefore,

220\ J/g = \frac{7700\ J}{m}\\\\m = \frac{7700\ J}{220\ J/g}\\

<u>m = 35 g </u>

What is one result of meiosis?
kogti [31]

Answer:

meiosis is a kind of cell division which occurs in special cells like gametes in which the daughter cells have half the numbers of chromosomes than the parent cells .

hence we can say that by this cell division 2 haploid cells are formed.
